A dedicated broadband line or “leased line” is a secure link that connects two or more sites. Normally this is a connection from your business premises to your internet service provider – but in theory it could also be used as a secure high-speed connection between any two premises. This connection may be utilised for internet access, corporate data transmission, video calls and VoIP phone conversations.
Internet connection speeds and reliability are a very important factor in determining the success of a modern business. The rise in remote working has also meant that businesses are using more bandwidth than ever before, with data-intensive technologies like video calling and real time cloud backups now being used almost constantly.
MPLS is short for Multi-Protocol Label Switching. Unlike many other things mentioned on this site MPLS is not a product or a service as such but more of a technique.
